We’ve had on-board cameras for a couple of seasons now, bringing us closer than ever to the action in the peloton, but Eurosport have raised the bar by bringing us 360-degree footage from inside a race.

Rather than having to look in the direction the rider’s bars are facing, you can look all around Venter, staring at his facial expressions as he ups the tempo on the front of the bunch, or watching the riders smoke it past him and off the front.

Then there are some handy pop-ups to tell you who is who. Philippe Gilbert spends a bit of time in front of Venter in his Belgian champion’s kit, while Sam Bewley does a quick turn on the front before flicking the elbow to tell Venter to move through.

To interact with the video, all you need to do is rotate your phone to get a new angle or, if using a desktop computer, click and drag on the video player to select a new view.
